Colombian singer-songwriter dedicates song to Dreamers

By JUAN GASTELUM Channel: Immigration

Colombian singer-songwriter Andres Useche has written a song in support of the DREAM Act, a legislative proposal that would provide a path to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants who came to United States as children. Useche, who now lives in Los Angeles, first performed the song in January during a statewide conference for Dreamers in Texas, according to his blog.

"The DREAM Act would save many undocumented young students from being deported and allow them a chance to give back to the country they grew up in, the country they love," Useche wrote in his blog. "I am in awe of the DREAMers I've had the honor of meeting and I am constantly inspired by their efforts to better themselves and society as a whole."

Useche is best-know for co-directing and performing in a video called "Si Se Puede Cambiar," which he released in support of President Obama during his 2008 presidential bid. In 2010, he also wrote a song and directed a video in response to Arizona's immigration law.

LYRICS: 

"Dream to Belong"  By Andres Useche

He may be from out of town, he may be from way down south,  but he was brought here as a child and he grew up in this house  he learned while in school of a light many had seen  guiding the tired and the poor yearning to be free

beacon of light / beacon of hope  keep shining bright / unite the dreams of us all  everyone deserves to learn / every child deserves to dream  when they only want to serve /when they want a chance to give

We dream to belong  DREAMERS HOLD ON HOLD ON  for every child who did nothing wrong  DREAMERS HOLD ON HOLD ON  to the dream

she met a boy and fell in love  and she dreamed she could belong  until ICE raided her home  and could deport her before long

she had learned while in school  about a torch many had seen  guiding the tired and poor  yearning to be free

beacon of light / beacon of hope  keep shining bright / unite the dreams of us all  everyone deserves to learn / every child deserves to dream  when they only want to serve /when they want a chance to give

We dream to belong  DREAMERS HOLD ON HOLD ON  for every child who did nothing wrong  DREAMERS HOLD ON HOLD ON  to the dream

Yo, no dejo de buscar /una luz, una señal/  danos la oportunidad/de hacer el sueño realidad

We dream to belong  DREAMERS HOLD ON HOLD ON  for every child who did nothing wrong  DREAMERS HOLD ON HOLD ON  to the dream

Together We’ll make the dream come true  Together We’ll make the dream come true

We dream to belong  DREAMERS HOLD ON HOLD ON  for every child who did nothing wrong  DREAMERS HOLD ON HOLD ON  to the dream

a child who did nothing wrong  this is the place she calls home  where he lives and where she hopes  that where you love is where you belong.
